I downloaded 4.5 iso from ftp.freebsd.org, I can't seem to compile 
anything successfully though. I tried to cvsup then make buildworld, 
each time it would fail usually with a compiler error.

Then I re-installed with a minimum system with source, tried to 
buildworld with that, same thing, errored out.

I tried to compile the kernel so I could have sound, no go, errors...

Could I have downloaded a bad iso? I use direcpc and downloading 
anything over 140mb is difficult at best, I don't look forward to 
another large download anytime soon, maybe I will try the mini iso and 
see how it goes.

I use linux other wise, in fact I had to install linux just to see if I 
could still compile a kernel on this box, everything works great in 
linux.

My system is a p4 1.8A, Abit TH7II, 256 Rambus, I have run any 
diagnostic I could find and everything tests ok, why can't I compile 
anything in FreeBSD?

I followed the handbook exactly, set up /etc/make.conf per 
instructions, even tried with out a make.conf

I had enough of a taste of FreeBSD to know that I want to use it as an 
os instead of Linux, I need to be able to compile though.

Anyone have any ideas?
